Eric, ref Verizone, AMPS, many standards and much wide open stuff. Yes, I agree, know and understand as well as respect all of that, it is actually quite intersting, a dynamic process with a long history,etc. But the limit of my agreeing is newsreleases as the latest Verizone one on Nokia "not being able to get SMS messaging to work" not mentioning the "complexity" of their network. (similar to the different version of Q-networks with undocumented, hidden "features" and cheating powercontrol handsets) Btw, to my knowledge all GSM networks are, in a similar fashion, not created equal, lots of historical, undocumented knowledge and testing needed with different manufacturers, versions and historical interface fixes and special cases for this or that combinations of everything. However, I know and understand that propaganda sometimes is important, but I usually don't respect it, at least not in these cases. Ilmarinen Btw, north scandinavia also has a lot of empty space, especially in the north, mountaines in Norway and lakes, archipelag in Finland, where the low frequency carrier of analog still is "king", bends around mountain sides, goes through forrests, etc. (450MHz) Will be interesting to see what kind of service Finland puts on the newly freed low freq. analog band (NMT).
